<h2>Detoxify</h2>
Detoxify is an extension that lets you control your YouTube experience by hiding or unhiding Shorts from your home feed. It’s cross-browser compatible (yep, works smoothly on Chromium browsers, Firefox, and probably Edge too).
The extension is already live on the <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/detoxify-youtube/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Firefox Add-on store</a> and will be available on the Chrome Web Store soon. Here’s a sneak peek of Detoxify in action.

<h3>Roadmap</h3>
<ul>
<li>Bug Fixes: Resolve the issue preventing Shorts from reappearing correctly after toggling.</li>
<li>Extended Functionality: Extend Shorts-hiding functionality to YouTube search results and other areas.</li>
<li>Filter Options: Add options to filter feed videos based on selected tags.</li>
<li>UI/UX Enhancements: Improve the user interface for a more intuitive experience.</li>
<li>Hide Playables: Introduce an option to hide playables (for YouTube Premium users).</li>
</ul>
<h3>Privacy Concerns</h3>
Detoxify operates entirely within the browser and does not collect, store, or transmit any user data. All modifications occur locally, ensuring that browsing activity remains private and secure. The Chrome version of the extension uses Manifest V3 for enhanced security, while the Firefox version currently operates on Manifest V2, adhering to the latest available standards for each platform.
The extension is completely open source and <a href="https://github.com/Grenish/detoxify/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">contributions</a> are welcome.

Loved the implicit burn contained in the comment “probably Edge too” 😂
Like, I couldn’t even be bothered to test because who uses Edge!?!?

You can hide shorts on YT interface already and what about the good shorts?

I love it!
I am waiting for it to drop on edge store and I’ll try it.
